On the subject of hardcore players, you guys gonna pick Quake 4 up when it hits the shelves? I am a sucker for co op games and that is one of the reasons I loved Quake 2 so much so when I heard Q4 would have co op and that it followed the story line I knew I had to buy it. You guys think you'll do the same?

You missed out on something good. Well, maybe. When I got the monster-PC for Quake 4, I'm sure that I will also have a look at Doom 3. Considering ther possible requirements for Q4, D3 will easily run with an average 200 FPS in full quality and high resolution on this machine. =8^)

I usually use ASE, but I dusted off my old Gamespy(not Arcade) v2.1.9 and only got 62 players. When I updated servers I got almost 150. Bob

Hi Dan,
I get 453 servers and 366 players on Gamespy (Not Arcade) at 1pm EDT.
There may be some other update feature in Arcade that you need to run.
Otherwise, try Gamespy or All Seeing Eye.
